Newry sits at the head of Carlingford Lough, and most visitors park around the two big shopping centres. The Quays Shopping Centre off Albert Basin has a large multi-storey car park, and Buttercrane Shopping Centre nearby offers covered parking that is handy for the Hill Street and Monaghan Street pedestrian areas. For the markets, the courthouse, or the canal towpath, the council-run car parks around Kilmorey Street, Canal Street and the Sugar Island area put you within a short walk of the city centre.
On-street pay-and-display bays line many of the streets near the centre, including parts of Hill Street's edges, Marcus Street and Monaghan Street, though spaces fill quickly on market days and Saturday afternoons. If you want to avoid the busiest crush, the larger surface car parks toward Albert Basin and along the canal tend to have more turnover. ParkEasy is free and community-powered, so local drivers share live tips on which car parks are full, where the cheaper long-stay spots are, and when on-street bays become free.
Find live parking in Newry →On-street pay-and-display charges in Newry generally apply during the day from Monday to Saturday, so many on-street bays become free in the evenings and on Sundays. Some retail and supermarket car parks, such as those at the larger out-of-town stores, offer free parking for customers with time limits. Always check the signs on the bay or at the car park entrance, as rules vary by location, and ParkEasy users often flag the best free spots.
Hill Street, Monaghan Street and the Buttercrane and Quays car parks get very busy on Saturdays and market days. For an easier time, try the surface car parks toward Albert Basin and along the canal at Sugar Island or Kilmorey Street, which usually have more space and are only a short walk from the shops and the city centre.
For a full day, the multi-storey at The Quays and the council long-stay car parks near the canal and Albert Basin are usually the most cost-effective, since short-stay on-street bays carry tighter time limits. If you are commuting, check spaces near Newry railway station on the Camlough Road side of town. ParkEasy shows community updates on which long-stay car parks still have room.
